Dear Linda and Family,



My deepest sympathy to you and your family for the loss of George. I met George approx. 25 years ago when I first worked with him at the P.D.'s office and will never forget his genuine kindness at all times. George touched so many peoples' lives in a positive manner. The world is a better place because of George.
